and happiness and joy and exhilaration and ecstasy that THE NEW COLDPLAY ALBUM HAS ARRIVED. IT IS IN MY ITUNES WAITING TO BE PLAYED A MILLION TIMES ON REPEAT.

PRAISE JESUS.

Seriously, I'm nostalgic about this. I started college after a summer of constant Viva La Vida playing and now I'm ending college with this album. It's like the parentheses of my college career. ahhh. I can barely type that without some tears!!

obviously there will be updates once I listen to the whole thing and decide on favorite songs/lyrics. but for now all I want to do is snuggle up in bed with this lulling my to sleep. so that's what I'm going to do right now :)

yesterday I was doing work at my favorite little coffee shop and then this elderly couple came in. I was struck by how beautiful their interaction was that I stopped working and took out a piece of paper and sketched out this poem.
